MORRIS CANAL. 


1835 . 


NEW-YORK: 

PRINTED BY JAMES VAN NORDEN, 

49 William-street. 









MORRIS CANAL OFFICE, 
Jersey City, March 14, 1835. 


SIR, 


The annexed Regulations and Rates of Toll are established for 
the government of this Canal, during the ensuing season, or until other¬ 
wise ordered. 

The increasing trade of the Canal, renders a strict adherence to these 
Rules indispensable ; and you are hereby requested to use your best ex¬ 
ertions to cause their observance ; and in case of any violation of them, 
to communicate information thereof to this Office, together with the name 
of the offender, and if a boatman the boat to which he may belong. 

The lock and plane tenders are particularly desired to give every 
despatch to boats, and not to suffer any delay to be imputed to their neg¬ 
lect, or refusal to pass them, as has frequently been the case. No person 
will be retained in the service of the Company, who does not punctually 
observe the regulations in every particular. 


I am, sir, 


Your obedient, 

JAMES B. MURRAY, 


President of the J\Iorris Canal and Banking Company. 


A 




RULES, &c. 


There shall be appointed by the Board of Directors, or by 
their authority, a Resident Engineer, and a Superintendent of 
Planes. 


THE RESIDENT ENGINEER 

Shall reside at or near the Canal, and shall be constantly 
employed upon the same. He shall engage in no business on 
his private account, nor be in anywise concerned in any boat, 
or in the navigation of the Canal, or transportation upon it, 
otherwise than as an officer of the Company. All payments to 
persons employed on the Canal, and for work, or materials of 
every kind, shall be made through him ; and he shall keep ac¬ 
curate and particular accounts of all his receipts and payments, 
and shall render his accounts regularly with vouchers. 

He shall appoint all lock tenders, and agree with them for 
their wages, subject to the approval of the Board, or Canal 
Committee. He shall constantly inspect the whole line of the 
Canal, and cause to be made, and superintend all repairs re¬ 
quisite to the Canal, or to any of its works, except the inclined 
planes ; with the repairs of which the Superintendent of Planes 
is charged, as hereinafter is prescribed. 

The Resident Engineer shall employ such artificers, foremen, 
watchers, and labourers, as he from time to time may find 
necessary, and shall make a proper distribution of them on the 
Canal. He shall provide all materials necessary for repairs, 
except for the repairs of the machinery of the inclined planes, 
which are to be provided by the Superintendent of Planes. But 
no material alteration shall be made in the Canal, nor in the 
general plan of a plane, or of the machinery, without the con¬ 
sent of the Board, or of the Canal Committee. 

He shall also appoint, with the consent and advice of the 
Superintendent of PlaneS, all plane tenders, and either of those 
officers shall have power to discharge any plane tender for im¬ 
proper conduct; and if such removal is made by the Superinten¬ 
dent of Planes, he shall forthwith report the same, and his reasons 
therefor, to the Resident Engineer. 

1 



4 


Ail persons in the permanent employ of the Company, on the 
Canal, shall be paid monthly. The Resident Engineer shall, at 
the commencement of each month, furnish the Cashier with an 
accurate and particular account of all payments and expenses 
of the month next previous to that in which the account is 
rendered. Where the Resident Engineer will require money 
for payments that it will be necessary to make in advance, be¬ 
fore the expiration of a month, he shall make a particular and 
detailed statement of such required payments ; and when these 
funds have been applied, their expenditure shall be particularly 
stated in the next monthly account; and vouchers, to which the 
account rendered shall refer by numbers for all payments. 

The Cashier shall furnish funds pursuant to the above pro¬ 
visions, to the Resident Engineer, on his requisitions and re¬ 
ceipts. 

THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PLANES 

Shall have charge of the inclined planes, so far as respects 
the machinery thereof. He shall cause to be made, all the 
repairs the planes may require, and shall provide all iron work 
or machinery necessary for such repairs. He shall frequently 
pass through the line, inspect each of the planes, and give his 
attention where he may find it necessary. He may employ such 
mechanics, artificers and workmen, as may be temporarily 
requisite for doing the repairs, and agree with them for their 
wages or compensation. He shall render to the Resident 
Engineer, an account of what may be due to the persons he 
may employ, and a particular account of all expenses he may 
incur, with proper vouchers; and the persons so employed and 
these expenses, shall be paid through the Resident Engineer, in 
the same manner as other expenses on the Canal are to be paid. 

The Resident Engineer and the Superintendent of Planes 
shall be paid quarterly, by their drafts on the Cashier. 

No plane, lock tender, or foreman, or other person, in the 
permanent employ of the Company on the Canal, shall engage 
in any other business on his private account, or be con¬ 
cerned in the navigation of the Canal, or in transportation 
upon it. 

The Resident Engineer shall, at each stated meeting, com¬ 
municate to the Board such information as will enable the 
Directors to understand the state of the work; and wherever 
any important breach or accident happens, give the Directors 
the earliest information thereof. It shall be his duty also, to 
suggest to the Directors any alterations in the regulations of 
the Company, which he may think desirable, or any thing which 


5 


he may think the Board or the Canal Committee should do, tli6 
better to advance the interests of the Company. 

The Resident Engineer shall frequently inspect the accounts 
and books of the plane and lock tenders, and collectors, and 
see that they are regularly kept, and also see that they make 
their remittances and returns regularly : and if any lock or 
plane tender does not do this, or withholds any part of the 
tolls he has collected, on any pretence, the Resident Engineer 
shall dismiss him, and put another in his place. 

Where it would be proper that there should be a collector 
at a place where there is no lock or plane, the Board will ap¬ 
point a collector for such place ; or, if the Board should think 
proper, a person will be appointed by the Board to be collec¬ 
tor, at any lock or plane, instead of the tender. 

The Resident Engineer shall have charge and direction of all 
the feed and waste gates, or waste weirs and stop gates; and 
shall see that they are so managed and regulated, as that the 
Canal may be duly supplied with water, or that it may be dis¬ 
charged, as the safety of the Canal may require. The lake at 
the summit, with the feeder, and all the works upon it, as well 
as the works at the head of the lake, shall be in his charge. 

The President shall frequently visit the line of the Canal, and 
make his report to the Board. He may require the Resident 
Engineer to suspend or dismiss any lock or plane tender, or 
collector, whom he may find manifestly delinquent in his duty. 

To every plane and lock, there shall be a tender, whose duty 
it shall be to manage the same, pass boats, and take care of 
the property of the Company, about his plane or lock. He shall 
in all things, conform to the directions of the Resident Engi¬ 
neer. He shall pass boats every day, and shall be in attend¬ 
ance, and pass boats during the following hours; viz. In the 
months of June, July, August, and September, from 4 o’clock, 
A. M., until 10 o’clock, P. M., and in the other months of navi¬ 
gation, from 5 o’clock, A. M., until 10 o’clock, P.M., and at such 
other hours as the President or Resident Engineer may from 
time to time direct. He shall see that no property, or article 
of the Company, under his care, shall be taken away without an 
order, in writing, from a proper officer of the Company; on 
which order, the plane or lock tender shall take a receipt. 


OF TOLLS AND THEIR COLLECTION. 

1. No boat (except such as shall have a special permit, by 
authority of the Board, or from the President, the Cashier, or 


6 


the Resident Engineer,) shall be allowed to pass a lock or plane, 
or place where a collector may be established, until tolls for 
the boat, and all her cargo and passengers, shall have been paid, 
and without having a permit in the form hereafter prescribed, 
given by a person duly authorized to grant the same. 

2. At the first plane or lock, or place where a collector may 
be established, which a boat may be desirous to pass, her tolls 
shall be paid to a person duly authorized to receive the same, 
who shall give a receipt, signed by him, therefor ; and shall al¬ 
so sign and deliver to him a permit, or pass, in which permit 
shall be expressed, in tabular form, the date, the name of the 
owner or master; the place from and to which the tolls have 
been paid; the distance; the quantities of the respective ar¬ 
ticles of the lading; the rate at which the tolls are charged 
for each; the nurfibcr of passengers; the tolls received for 
them ; and the gross amounts received. 

The plane and lock tenders, and collectors, will be furnished 
with printed forms of the receipts and permits. 

The permit must be delivered up to the collector, or plane 
or lock tender, next to the place of the destination of the boat, 
before she will be permitted to pass or land her cargo. 

3. The receipt shall be given to the master or owner of the 
boat, to be retained by him. He shall also be the bearer of the 
permit, or pass, which shall be delivered to the tender of the 
last lock or plane which the boat shall pass, before she arrives 
at the place to which the tolls have been paid, as expressed in 
her permit; but if the boat be destined to any place, near 
which there is no lock or plane which she must pass, before she 
arrives at her place of destination, but where a collector may 
be established, then the permit shall be delivered to him, be¬ 
fore the boat shall be permitted to discharge any part of her 
lading on the bank of the Canal. 

4. The permits received by each lock or plane tender, or 
collector, shall be delivered to the Resident Engineer, to be by 
him remitted to the Secretary of the Company, at the Banking 
house in Jersey City. 

5. The master or owner of a boat, at, the first lock or plane, 
or place where a collector may be established, which she may 
desire to pass, shall deliver to the lock or plane tender, or to the 
collector, an account of the lading of the boat, designating the 
different articles, and the quantity or number of each, so ar¬ 
ranged as that the amount of tolls may be easily calculated. 
There shall be also specified, on the account, the number of 
passengers, and the places from, and to which they are respec¬ 
tively to be carried. 


7 


If the master or owner of any boat shall be detected in 
making any wilful misrepresentation of the weight or quantity 
of his cargo, he shall be liable to pay treble the ordinary rate of 
toll on the entire cargo of such boat. 

G. Every lock and plane tender, and collector, when he re¬ 
ceives tolls, and grants a permit, shall keep an accurate account 
or registry, in a tabular form, of the tolls he receives, and the 
permits he grants, designating the date ; the name of the boat 
and number, if she has a number ; the owner or master’s name; 
where from, and where bound ; the several articles on board ; 
their respective quantities; the total tonnage of the cargo; rate 
per ton for which he receives toll; amount received upon each 
article ; number of passengers; tolls received for the boat, and 
the total sum. 

The lock and plane tenders, and collectors, will be furnished 
with printed forms of this account of registry. 

7. An exact copy of each account or registry for which 
printed forms will be furnished, shall be made up weekly, to, 
and including the Saturday in each week, and shall be delivered 
to the Resident Engineer, or to his order, with all the moneys 
collected, without deduction on any account. Any claim or 
demand which a lock or plane tender, or a collector, may have 
against the Company for salary or wages, for work done, ma¬ 
terials provided, or any other account, is to be settled and paid 
by the Resident Enginer, as is provided by the rules and regula¬ 
tions. A plane or lock tender, or collector, who shall not remit, 
according to these regulations, the full amount by him collected, 
without retaining in his hands any thing, shall be dismissed ; 
and every lock or plane tender, and collector, shall be considered 
as accepting and holding his office on this condition. 

8. Each plane or lock tender, or collector, before he suffers a 
boat to pass, or to discharge any part of her lading, shall in¬ 
spect her cargo, and ascertain the number of her passengers, 
and see that they agree with the permit that he may give, or 
that she may have. And if when a pass or permit is presented 
to a lock or plane tender, or collector, there shall appear to be 
more articles, or a greater number of passengers in the boat, 
than are specified in the pass, he shall not permit the boat to 
pass, until the tolls for the excess be paid to him ; and he shall 
endorse on, or add to the original permit, such excess, and also 
put on the original receipt, an additional receipt for the tolls so 
paid to him, and shall make corresponding entries in his ac¬ 
count or registry. 

9. In case of any dispute or disagreement between any owner 
or master of a boat, and a lock or plane tender, or collector, as 
to the weight, or quantity of a cargo, or any part of it, the same 


8 


shall be verified, by weighing, counting, or measuring, before 
the boat shall be allowed to pass, or unload. 

10. There shall be put, and kept up conspicuously at every 
lock and plane, or place where a collector may be established, 
a tariff, or list of the tolls, as the same are, or may be established 
by the Company. 

11. If the Resident Engineer should think it unnecessary 
that the tender at any lock or plane should be a collector of 
tolls, he shall give notice thereof to such lock or plane tender, 
and also to the Cashier of the Company. And in such case, 
these rules and regulations, so far as they respect the collection 
of tolls, shall not apply to such lock or plane tender. 


GENERAL REGULATIONS. 

L Every boat intended for the navigation of the Morris 
Canal, shall be registered at the weigh lock, at Newark. Each 
register shall be numbered in the order in which the boats 
are entered. And every boat shall have painted in letters and 
figures, of not less than two inches in height, in one or more 
conspicuous places, the number of her register, in the following 
form: 



r — 

REGISTER 



No. 


and boats belonging to this Company, shall have the letters 
M. C. auded to such designation. 

2. Every boat passing on the Canal, shall at all times during 
the night, carry a conspicuous light in her bow, and every raft, 
or float, passing on the Canal at night, shall carry a like light, 
at the forward end of the same. Any boat or raft, which shall 
refuse or neglect to comply with this regulation, shall not be 
allowed to pass, in the night time, any lock or plane. 

3. Square headed or sharp cornered scows, or boats, shall 
have a semicircular platform, firmly fastened in the bow, so as 
to defend and protect other vessels from coming in contact 
with either of the corners thereof. No sharp cornered boat or 
scow, without such platform, shall pass any lock or plane. 

4. No setting pole, or shaft pointed with iron, shall be per¬ 
mitted to be used on the Canal. 








9 


5. Where a boat is in the employ of the Company, or has a 
special pass or permit, to pass without paying tolls to the lock 
or plane tenders, or collectors, the tender of the first lock, or 
plane, or collector’s station that she shall pass, shall enter on 
his register the name and number of such boat, if she has a 
number, the name of the master or owner, and the places from 
and to which the pass is given, and the name of the person by 
whom the pass is signed. 

6. All boats and horses ascending towards the summit, are 
entitled to the towing path. 

7. All boats and horses descending from the summit, the 
horses to stop, drop their towing line, so that the ascending 
horse and boat may pass freely over. 

8. Each boat must have a horn, bugle or trumpet, which 
must be blown or sounded, when they arrive within a quarter of 
a mile of any lock or plane they wish to pass. 

9. No boat will be suffered to lay to, or stop within 150 feet 
of any lock, or 300 feet of any plane. 

10. No boat will be suffered to come to, and stop on the 
towing path ; nor shall any two boats be suffered to lie along 
side of each other, except within a basin ; and every boat com¬ 
ing to in the Canal or in any basin, shall be securely fastened by 
a bow and stern line. 

11. No boat will be allowed to load or unload, on the towing 

path, in a lock, or upon a plane. 

12. Boats or rafts travelling the same way on the Canal, if 
one boat or raft overtakes another boat or raft, and wishes to 

pass, the forward boat or raft must turn their horses and boat, or 
raft, outward from the towing path, drop their towing lin° °nd 
permit the faster horses and boat or raft to pass. 

13. All boats shall have the preference, and be passed over 
planes and through locks, in their turn as they arrive. But if 
one boat should pass another boat within 300 yards of a lock 
or plane, the boat so passing shall not be passed over the plane, 
or through the lock first, in consequence of being the first to 
present itself. 

14. Boats and rafts passing planes or locks, one crib, or so 
much of a raft, as can or may pass a lock or plane at a time, 
shall be considered equal to a boat. 

15. If a boat meets with any considerable or unnecessary 
detention at a lock or plane, or on the Canal, the master or 
owner of the boat is requested, by a letter to the Secretary, to 
inform the Board of the cause and time of suck d ention. 

16. The rudder of every boat shall be so constructed and 
hung, as not to catch the towline of another boat, when the 
two boats are passing each other. 

2 


10 


17. Every boat in passing through a lock, shall fasten a bow 
and stern line, in such manner as to prevent the boat from 
striking against the gates: and if any damage happens to the 
gates or locks from neglect of this precaution, the master or 
owner of the boat shall be liable for the damages, besides beirig 
subject to the penalties of the law. 

18. No boat shall be allowed to discharge any water while 
passing up or down a plane; and it shall be the duty of the 
master of every boat to have her carefully pumped out pre¬ 
vious to passing a plane.
